ACES adds insurance partnership to list of member benefits

ACES is pleased to announce a partnership with Association Health Programs to provide comprehensive insurance programs for our members.

AHP is a respected national company that has provided insurance programs to association membership for almost 20 years. Currently, it works with more than 180 associations nationwide and has a substantial base that enables it to negotiate competitive rates for you and your family.

Insurance lines provided include:

• Health, individual and group;

• Life – term, universal and whole life;

• Long-term care, accident, disability income;

• Dental and vision plans.

Members who purchase their own insurance should take the time to compare their existing plan to one that takes advantage of the ACES/AHP buying power. All national “A” rated insurance companies, including Humana, Blue Cross, Aetna and United Health Care, are available to ACES members. These are comprehensive programs with a variety of co-pays, deductibles, routine care and prescription drug coverage.

AHP uses only national “A” rate carriers for all of their plans, and policies cannot be cancelled for any reason exempt non-payment of premiums. Renewal premiums are negotiated to obtain the best prices.
Other points of value to ACES members: AHP works for ACES members not the insurance company; AHP guarantees the best insurance options available on the market; and AHP handles all customer service related issues.

AHP’s mission is to help ACES members make educated decisions regarding their health and business insurance needs.
